How would you explain your philosophy of life?

What you have gather to be worthy and unworthy, what motivates you to continue living, what inspires you, what great discoveries you have stumbled upon, and what is your highest concept of god?

Or what comes to mind.
In your own original way.

 

god is dead

oh yeah i made that up hmmhmmm

 

all I know is that no one knows anything.

however...

since I seem to be here (and I assume you all think you are here), I've only noticed that all anyone has is the present, and themselves. everything else is memories and speculation.

 

I love those things zen arcade.

The no one knows anything is huge on many levels.

 

especially because you strip everything of it's meaning (including yourself) and you have no idea if you're full of shit or not.

 

whoa i just now realized i got alot of post

 

whoah, now yer scarin' me. shit, me too!

wait, like, how much is a LOT? I guess it's, like, subjective. :boxing:

 

I don't think I used to have a philosophy of life at ten, in fact I think I began to try to find explanations and ideas about life in general around 21 or so.
Of course they keep changing.

 

i dunno... i guess that i dont want to die young. i want to experience the world and i guess that motivates me to live for the moment.
when you think about it.. every second that passes is another minute of your life you will never get back.
dont want to waste them do you?

so yea i just live for the moment. go with the flow.

 

Hah! Yeah.

 

my Philopshy is to just take i tone day at a time and live for the moment because life is short... also love everyone, cuz once again life is too short to hate

Peace, Love, and Rock and Roll

 

Don't fuck up anyone's day.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

 

you know, i think that's about as right on as it gets.

here's a bit of expansion on my possition, that i was thinking of starting a seperate thread for, but i think it just might fit here just fine:

while fantasies of glory may be an affinity of the young, often encouraged for their own reasons by the more short sighted among their elders, such is not a life persued by those who have experienced, or even in their more extreme, witnessed, its integrally less glamourous sides.

gods, be they one or many, are invisible, not infallable; however unimaginably more powerful then ourselves they might none the less be.

nor do their or its existence obviate the reality of their remaining up to ourselves to avoid messing everything up for each other. nor is their any other way to reduce the suffering that the more there is, the more likely are we too, each and every one of us, to experience.

nor is everything unseen of a transcendent nor omnipotent nature. though little if any of it truely and primarily wishes us any particular harm. small and for the most part friendly, though thouroughly indepent unseen awairnessess may seek or simply share our companionship, much as creatures of wood and field sometimes aggree to shelter and find comfort as comencils among us.

beliefs, for the most part, have a tendency to make all too much of the supposed bennifits of hierarchy. emphasizing the desirability certainly, to wish to avoid causing suffering, which is their good side, while obscuring the reality of how it is caused and avoided which is their less bennifical.

and the problem with hierarchy of course, is that it denys far too many the option, of not buying into killing themselves trying to impress each other. (nor is the flavor of idiology used to cover the stench of this, of all that cogent a pertinence).

what am i motivated by? the kind of world i'd rather be living in. one that did not put symbolic value ahead of real value.

symbolic value may buy the groceries and pay the rent, but real value is what we have to live with and with the resaults of.

what keeps me going? creating and exploring are what gratify. whatever happens, however good or bad, i remain eternally curious to see what is over the next hill or arround the next bend. and if i can contribute to the beauty and pleasure there is in this world for all to enjoy, all that much to the better.

company is an occasionally pleasant diversion, though never for me, a primary object of persuit. and gratuitously conventional, unimmaginative and uncreative company, is less enjoyable, even desireable, to me, then the abscence of any.

creativity, explorations, and there is no greater good then the avoidance of causing suffering. i do love and appreciate all good fortune though.

yet i also deeply wish, more of it did not so much require as high a level of human company as the dominant culture is currently forcing it to.

i want everyone to be able to be as happy and healthy as they wish.

happy, healthy and most of the time, out of sight and out of mind.

The more cars I shit it, the better a chance I have of becoming a real pigeon and not a ceramic pigeon.

Shit on cars I must!

 

My philosophy is easy.

"Be kind to others."

 

i thought it was "don't be rude in such an obvious way that you get caught."

or is that mine?

 

that's yours.

by "be kind to" I actually mean "give pleasure to"

 

ah. gotcha.

 

and by "give pleasure to" I mean "give cash to"

 

i need pleasure. lots and lots of pleasure.
